Frances Kremarik, Senior Lecturer in Air Transport and Tourism, joins the board of British Wheelchair Basketball as a Non-Executive Sports Director having been successfully nominated and elected during the 2022 Annual General Meeting.
British Wheelchair Basketball, formerly the Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball Association, is the governing body for wheelchair basketball in the United Kingdom. It is a registered charity and representative body of wheelchair basketball in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Prior to her election to the board, Kremarik had been an active member of BWB for nearly ten years and officiated at numerous tournaments and national championships. She is a referee tutor, and has been a senior referee at numerous events, providing guidance and feedback to fellow officials. Wheelchair basketball became an important part of Kremarik’s life from the first time she officiated the game.
Attracted by the spirit and dedication of the athletes, she continued in the sport and earned her international (IWBF) officiating qualification in 2005. She joins the board along with Kevin Analuwa, as an Independent Non-Executive Director (EDI Champion), and Emma Foden, also as a Non-Executive Sports Director.
Speaking about her election to the board, Kremarik said: “It is a great privilege and honour to have been elected to represent the membership. Wheelchair basketball is a fantastic sport, and I am happy to be part of BWB.”
